CSIR Future Production: Manufacturing focuses its science, engineering and technology base on contributing towards South Africa’s re-industrialisation by developing or facilitating the uptake of new technologies that will improve the competitiveness and productivity of strategic local economic sectors. This includes technologies and paradigms articulated through the fourth industrial revolution (4IR).
ProEcoServ looked at how mainstream biodiversity and ecosystem services can be integrated into multi-sectoral planning processes across scales.
Proposals are hereby invited to companies to provide product development support and innovation to manufacturing companies for yellow good (capital equipment), mining innovation and rail infrastructure and components that must be localised for the respective sectors. Read more...
CSIR senior researcher Dr Thomas Ryan-Keogh and CSIR research group leader for the Southern Ocean Carbon-Climate Observatory Dr Sandy Thomalla are co-lead authors of this high-impact research, which suggests that there may be a reduction in the supply of iron to the Southern Ocean’s surface sunlit waters.
Outlining the significance of the research, Ryan-Keogh says that the Southern Ocean is a globally important region that helps to mitigate the impacts of climate change by absorbing, mainly through physical processes, a significant proportion of the man-made carbon dioxide that is emitted through the burning of fossil fuels. “Almost half of all the anthropogenic carbon dioxide that dissolves in the ocean does so here,” he says.
